ABSTRACT:
A fixing unit8is fitted with a rail28along which a rail guide provided inside an image forming apparatus can slide. This allows the fixing unit8to be extracted out of the image forming apparatus. When the fixing unit8is extracted out of the image forming apparatus, a transferring body separating member26, which has thus far been prevented from rotating by the rail28, is made to rotate by the force applied by a tension spring27. An end portion of the transferring body separating member26presses a transfer roller bracket24and thereby moves a transfer roller17. Thus, the transfer roller17is separated from a photoconductor drum2.
